Ascension of a Gamma

Chapter 29 Little Things

– Liam

I woke up with a weight on my

chest. The tingling sensations that washed over me told me who it was. I was on

a dopamine high, and so was Luca. Ever since I almost gave in to Salina’s 2

seduction, something I want to beat myself up to until today, and after the

exhausting run, I put him through, he took advantage of my lowered guard and

took over. I didn’t have the strength to stop him, and at that point, I didn’t

care for what he intended to do. Turned out, he just wanted to comfort our

mate. He had been keeping quiet since.

It was for the best.

If it wasn’t for him warning me that something wasn’t

out there anyway! I shook my head – that was the wrong question. She should be

safe everywhere she goes within the pack’s territory.

It was my fault. I took it back. Carson voted against it

because he was worried for her safety, just in case she somehow got herself in

trouble. Lexy voted against it because she was worried that Anna might try to run

It didn’t occur to me that she would grant me permission

I let her down this time, but next time she calls for me,

I would be there. I’d keep her safe, at the cost of my life.

The rogue’s invasion was an urgent matter. Gale had been

reporting the progress of the investigation while Lexy nagged me until she got

tired and slept, both via a mind-link. She was letting out her frustration and

guilt on me for not answering Anna’s calls, and I was sure later today she’d

mumble an apology. As for Gale, he better OO REDMI NOTE 198 no stone unturned
